Herringlike fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shad

'herringlike fish' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shad that I've seen before include "Fish related to the herring" , "Fish; dash (anag.)" , "fish that's been caught" , "Herring-like fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Penny Press.
